Harry hits it out of the park on this one:

I understand that the candidates are putting together a joint statement at Senator Obama’s suggestion. But it would not be helpful at this time to have them come back during these negotiations and risk injecting presidential politics into this process or distract important talks about the future of our nation’s economy. If that changes, we will call upon them. We need leadership; not a campaign photo op.

Yes – McCain and Obama in Senate right now would become a media circus ontop of a big photo-op opportunity. It isn’t needed right now. Does McCain really expect us to believe this is anything else?
